1:29 love how he just casually pulls out a sith holocron like it's nothing.
Same with a kyber crystal
Can't take a shit on Corriban without stumbling over one of those. The sith were the streamers of old.
Hmmm, let's see... * digs into pocket and pulls out a large, metal object * I have this huge piece of hull from the first Death Star, how much do you think that's worth?
😂😂😂
@@KICKING_ZEONIC_BALLZ bro isn't ttg he's tttt
I thought this would be a joke about how money became useless after the fall of the empire.
I mean technically when you have alot more `countries` in outter space, multiple on each planet and then the status of the supposed main governing power seems to want to shuffle too many times, the value of money with no gold standard to tie them all together is just a financial nightmare with likely hundreds or even hundreds of thousands types of currencies that might as well be Theme park tokens for the majority of them, which even those tokens can change value at the drop of a lightsaber.
AKA why it seems like almost every space sci-fi centric media i know of seems to just default to the term `Credits` almost every time then deal with that logistic nightmare unless its being used purposely as a plot point via some back-water undeveloped world that still has yet to achieve space travel, sort of like how most Star Ocean games end up doing.
Might be saving it for a part two.
@@Bladez10 satire has no part two, just an infinite source of facepalms to flawed designs whether it’s apocalypse bringing, Gee, dats funny or how people made fun of how broken light sabers can be by simply dropping it with its blade facing downward.
Then Disney somehow decided the toy lightsabers are the canon sabers and have them able to still cut thru machines, randomly can’t cut thru metal and can’t dismember humanoids because they are too lazy to pay for the CGI to animate a cut limb or injury or make a plaster and use green screen to hide the ‘lost hand’ till they replace it with a ‘robot hand’.
Thought this would be a joke about the black guy
Which begs the question:
How can Disney simultaneously have billions of dollars in reserve and revenue and yet not have enough for something that was done some 30+years ago?
I’m just gonna say: there’s no such thing as too many Ewok skulls.
Ewok skulls compared to gungan skulls?
@@emperorkarlfranzrulerofthe2826 To my understanding, the exchange rate of Ewok skulls to Gungan skulls is about equal.
Well, morally, there probably isnt such a thing, but you got to thing about the weight. At about a half dozen or more, those suckers are a bit inconvenient to lug around. Which is why you normally trade them for some sort of bounty on said skulls.
@@josephperez2004 "Ewok skulls aren't that bad to lug around as long as you have something to carry them in."
"What do you use to carry skulls?"
"In a headcase" (Rimshot)
@@josephperez2004 I think the bulk is more of a problem than the weight, they're not that heavy but they don't exactly nest well. The sooner a galaxy far, far away makes the conversion to _powdered_ Ewok Skull, the better. (Fortunately, it probably already happened a long time ago.)
Imagine having to use 3 different types of currencies to pay for a drink
imagine living in Zimbabwe in the 2010's then
currencies you mean?
We do that already. Credit.

@@the-letter_s black people country!!! :p
It's now my headcanon that the reason slavery is still a thing in the Star Wars verse is because sapient labor has a somewhat fixed value, but NO ONE can agree on what the various currencies are worth outside their home planets (and sometimes not even then).
This reminds me of Seth MacFarland's series The Orville on Hulu. In the future Earth is part of a coalition of planets where money is no longer used, but anytime they encounter a primative planet or travel to the past (present day Earth) they point out how confusing the value of paper money & credit cards is.
That's a star trek joke. Been for years
Star Trek Federation really didn't deal with much money. I'm sure when writing the show TNG/V/DS9 they saw how confusing exchange was. Decided to just to get rid of money to avoid this.
To be fair they have paralatinum gold, whatever that os.
They can create large amounts of energy snd use it to create any object they want.
The Federation controls communication, transportation/travel and the economy/production.
The only reason they sren't viewed as evil is because they act nice, but even that is questionable in that we ste seeing everything from the Federation's point of view.
Quark send the other one, the Kardashian, they have a conversation aboutbl the Federation send conclude that they are 8nsidious and that is how they can convince people do much.
Quark asks how not having money makes the Federation better and the officer, not having an answer, just says it does!.
Makes sense, since physical money has no inherent value. It's just arbitrary numbers that translate one's contributions to society into a means of exchanging that work for goods provided by others. So for people who don't work for money as we see it, it's understandable that the concept would be difficult to grasp.
This was a recurring joke with Quark in Deep Space 9.@@ravenandstar
Oh god, I really am too into Star Wars. I recognized almost all of those currencies.
Seriously though, the only time I was on Palpatine's side was when he nationalized the banks. What kind of government doesn't have complete control over its own currency?
Happend a lot
Civil war n usa, revolution in México, others use only exchange, the whole black friday on 20's...
hahahaha
@@scarlet_phonavis6734 I don't think it is being used responsibly, no. No matter what Anti-Semitic conspiracy you have heard it is under the complete control of Congress and the White House. Who gives them orders and what the elected official's biases are is another matter.
Also aside from places like theme parks US Greenbacks are accepted everywhere in the US and most of the rest of the world. Which is something the Galactic Republic could not say. In fact it is illegal to pay checks and receive taxes in anything but US Federal Reserve produced currency.
Inflation done 1910 has been some 16+ times whatever value you read.
1 dollar in 1910 is, what, 16 dollars and change? Also America stopped using the Gold Standard and decided to base it's cash on "good faith", they criticized bitcoin for not having value but cash is the same without the Gold Standard.
@@WolframHeart-xp2px
Here's the thing, before modern electronics, GOLD HAD NO REAL TANGIBLE VALUE OTHER THAN BEING A SHINY ROCK.
To be fair, the entirety of Earth doesn’t use the same currency. Makes sense that the entire galaxy’s currency isn’t monolithic.
It had a single unifying government for centuries, it should
The cantina exists in a singular place. Any of its regulars should know and have the currency they take.
…or just keep child slaves on hand.
@@craigh5236 It had a large government that attempted to unify everyone and tried to speak for them. But most people's lives didn't even really change as a result of the Republic.
But we have established conversion rates.
@@PrydeWater901 its tatooine so they probably do take child slaves tbh
For those of you who don’t know: Nova Crystals come from the video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. The game was made by the same company that did Age of Empires and it has many of the same mechanics as the AoE games, including harvesting resources. Nova Crystals were the currency in the game and you mined them much like mining for gold. They were clusters of green crystals that jutted out of the ground.
They were also the trade/gold resource in that game, so very fitting here.
Watto: "Republic credits? Credits are no good out here, I need something more real".
Qui-Gon: " I don't have anything else * waves hand * but the Republic credits will do fine".
Watto: "No, they won't".
Qui-Gon: "😐... * waves hand again * The credits will do fine"
Watto: "No - THEY WON'T-EH! Whadda you think-eh, you some kinda Jedi wavin' you hand around like-eh that? I'm a Toydarian, mind tricks don't-eh work on me, only money. No money, no parts-eh, no deal!"
Yes, the currency of the Star Wars galaxy does indeed suck...and evidently, so do Jedi mind tricks sometimes.
Honestly, I always thought republican credits not having any value on Tatooine made no sense. It is Jabba the Hut's home and he runs a major interstellar crime organization. Why wouldn't it accept the most commonly used currency in the galaxy?
@@toddclawson3619 If Watto accepted the credits, there'd be no need for the podrace stuff. The whole Tatooine sidequest would've been on the cutting room floor. Darth Vader would have had to find some other way to get off that ball of sand.
Beyond that, though. The lore says that the Outer Rim worlds were exploited heavily by the Core (free trade zones, limited/no taxation or corporate oversight, led to strip mining and similar), so there's just general disliking of the Republic as a result.
Can we even call it _”currency”_ anymore if even their conversion rate is inconsistent?
technically yes, as long as people will value it in exchange for goods/services somewhere
obsolescence-y?
Conversion rates do change over time, especially those for unstable economies. Given in the space two or decades the Republic turned into the Empire, then back to the Republic, and who knows what happened with local planetary currencies, it seems believable.
Great, now im gonna have to look into Star Wars money lore now
Okay wow! I have never thought of how bad the currency there is. This was awesome😂
Same here. All this time I was focused on the story and action.
It never occurred to me on how bad the economy is in Star Wars.
@@NO-1-U-NOIts why the three major rims of the galaxy can instantly tell if a person is rich, middle class, or poor and or in poverty.
That explained the plot hole of "why didn't Qui-Gon just find a ripoff currency exchange place and be done with it?"
Spaceballs Two : The search for more money 💰. 😉

@@graywolfdraconwhere the real money from the movie is made!
May the Schwartz be with you

I'm more surprised by sith holocron than slave children
A bar in Cambodia takes dollars, baht and riel. Totally relatable.
If you show baht or riel, they'll just nod and go.
But if you show dollars, the waitresses will hang around you expecting a tip. 😂
Apparently, after the Chinese Han dynasty was temporarily overthrown in 9 AD, the new emperor tried introducing multiple new currencies that no one could figure out.
Is it just me or is anyone else concerned where the guy got the Ewok skulls or what place would actually except them as payment?
@@bjornarnesen6148good point
After the Endor Holocaust (look it up), Ewok skulls were a dime a dozen.
I'm sure it's like skyrim. Skulls and cheese just fall out of everything
Now I see why Disney gave Star Wars to EA lol
I mean, the credit was technically a crypto currency but people decided to just download them to flash drives(those weird chips you see) for physical use.
So Star wars just went full circle from digital currency back to physical currency huh?
I mean, that's how lots of crypto bros used crypto anyway. Shoved their wallet on a USB stick to keep it safe from hackers.
@@Demmrir And that lets you avoid transaction fees if you just give the whole crypto wallet to someone in person instead.
That has got to be one of the weirdest ascended fanons I have ever seen in the SWEU.
No, it has an established value that doesn't fluctuate from day to day, and the amount in circulation can be and is maintained by the government.
"Um...do you accept NFTs?"
*"GET THE F**K OUT OF MY BAR!!!!!!!"*
What does NFT mean?
Non fungible token.
Guy #1: What about Gold-pressed Latinum?
Waitress: Where do I even _begin_ telling you what's wrong with _that!?_
0:37 Somehow the skulls don't make it less confusing.... How do you guys manage it?!
Where did they even get the Kyber Crystal and Holocron from?
Who wants to bet that the Imperial Credits aren't decimalized?
HA! I see what you did there . . . .
Funnily enough, though, they are. There have been mentions of decicreds and centicreds in various stories troughout the years.
Actually, it is quite common for different nations/worlds to have different types of currency.
Well atleast they use some kinda coins, instead of just random stuff what they have too much of.
You are NOT wrong about that. We've been doing this for hundreds of years.
really? I'm only aware of Earth having that, which other real life examples are out there? :D
Is it also common for different nations/worlds under a single government to have multiple types of currencies?
Yes, at least to accept them. Particularly in border states/regions. @@johnnytable844
Haa!
"Should we tip the band?"
"....no."
😆👍
They really should put a pancart mentionning accepted curencies at the entrance.
Last, I checked a kyber crystal That size would be good enough to buy you a gun ship....and the holocron a warship.
Why don't they just buy the bar....?
Mad how even a Star Faring Intra Galactic Civilization hasn't implemented Google Pay
Republic and later Imperial credits were generally the go to currency for most worlds that fell under the Republic/Imperial rule.
That said some worlds and merchants still could technically refuse the currency in exchange for say their home worlds or whatever world they are living on main currency.
Is it still confusing with how many different forms of currency yes,yes its. That said i doubt it would be possible to have thousands to millions of worlds unanimously agree on one sole currency (just look at our single planet alone.)
I thought this would go in the direction of how the credit is close to the very recent US dollar for stuff like food and basic necessities, but spacecraft are priced like a credit is $1,000+ (Millenium Falcon was 100,000cr new, X-wings were 150,000cr new).
You know you're a Star Wars gamer when you would have accepted the kyber crystal as payment.
The worst part about this is that child slaves are probably even MORE universally accepted as currency in Star Wars than credits.
What about spice?
I remember in the clone wars series Hondo refused to deal with Republic credits and instead preferred to trade with goods like spices
The star wars universe is confusing… and terrible place to live as well.
The more I learn about currency, the more I realize i need to learn more. And also how most people don't understand economics despite having business degrees.
At the very least, in a galaxy where every planet likely has its own currency and a near same Imperial/Republic/Trade Federation currency, the barkeep would probably BE the local currency trader and have a decent idea of what each currency was worth using galaxy spanning communication networks, as they'd make their business finding traders willing to exhange their raw foodstuffs for a given currency.
On the sell of younglings, that have better have been a 5 star Greebo Michelin meal or they overpaid. Then again, all those Ewok skulls and a sith Holocron suggest they did it for more Darkside XP, as you do.
All great points. Thank you for your thoughts I love reading them
Glad that kind of currency in Starwars almost doesnt exist in the real world as well....
It's the "almost" that's sad.
Pixel shot
I understood probably 20 percent of this. Why'd Dorkly stop doing subtitles?
I mean, galaxy wide it is typically republic/empire credits. The outer rim worlds i think go on a bit more of a bartering system with local currencies. Part of the space-western vibe of star wars is that a lot of story has to do with paying in weird ways.
And I thought my Canadian dollar was worthless... wow .. just wow..
I remember using peggets in the Phantom Menace video game, shocked to learn that’s it’s actually blood money 😮
I've always ever heard only of galactic credits, didn't know there were so many active currencies in Star Wars. Makes we wonder though, Star Wars is so far advanced and they don't have something like a debit or credit card?
Well, I guess if it's on a desert or outer rim planet it might be too rural for widespread card terminals or just doesn't have the infrastructure but still, you'd think that's something figured out so far in the future.
1:33 Sorry son. Cold man😂😂😂😂
And wtf lady?! You reject a sith holocron but accept child slaves?! The currency and priorities are so messed up!
Love your content guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
yeah sounds like what happens in Mexico if ur not Mexican. According to my dad who's American (Im Canadian as is my mom) when they went to Mexico the local vendors wouldn't even take Pesos (which si what Mexicans use) because they knew that as "gringos" they probably had Amerrican money which is worth more. Apparently he asked a fellow Caucasian tourist and was told "yeah that's how they do it here unless ur not white." My apologies if this seems racist as I don't mean it that way but apparently it depends where u are in Mexico ie the villages etc will take pesos from White people because its less trouble for them as the cops are sus of anyone in a small village that has American money but a lot of the tourist areas such as Cancun do this because they know they can get more value.
Kid selling lemonade in Star Wars: WHAT IS THIS SIR I ONLY ACCEPT MONEY
Star Trek: it is money
What about priorite shards or data discs from the Old Republic? You can get haircuts, music and lightsaber pieces for those.
Kyber Crystals should count, you can make light sabers with those.
wow, that's gotta be insane and annoying to deal with who accepts what.
nova crystals??? was that a galatic battlegrounds refrence?
Indeed, a very appropriate one too
I’ve never seen money in StarWars even in cartoons. 🌌📺💵❌
Credits would have worked fine right guys?
"Sand"
"Nice."
Creased
Yeah it’s never consistent 🤣
Like we don't have dozens of different currencies on our planet alone.
i just saw the likes skyrocket in real time wtf
Seeing a lot of these comments, I wasn't expecting so many people to lack the concept of a country that accepts multiple valid currencies.
Just thinking how confusing currency will be if we has galaxies worth or places to visit.
Ah, it should probably be more of an interest that they are selling a kid but, how did these two acquired a Sith Holocron and a Kyber Crystal?
This skit probably represents one of many things, if you catch my drift
Guys seriously on Star Trek day
(Waves hand) _Credits will do fine._
Wow
Beskar Metal is considered a form of payment so they couldve used that as currency
You think they just had some on them? lol
Can you make a video about if Digimon was Literal🔥🦖
I can imagine Ewok skulls used as money in post-Palpatine Imperial territory.
I take the Ewok Skulls.
Oooooooh. I get it now. Child slaves are the only type of currency that makes sense! I’ll call my accountant right away!
I'm wondering if this was just nothing but references from the entire Star Wars franchise.
Bruh I was just in cuba for vacation, they had like 4 currencies going around. pesos, cuban dollar. American Dollar and Canadian Dollar where at war with each other. Calling each other worthless.
What happened to good old fashioned gold or silver?
Since Tatooine is an outer rim planet credits would be useless... Also how did they obtain these rare items
Hi kids! Old-timer here. There was a panel in the original Star Wars comic of the first movie, after Han shot Greedo, where he walked past the bar and threw the guy some coins. That's the only time I remember seeing money in SW. I know they talked about it but never really showed it. Of course, that was *before* so what do I know?
I never understood the income in the _Star Wars_ and probably never will.
Well, the galaxy is a big place. I bet gold os still good.
Only for plating latinum
@@ryancurrier6845 Much as I appreciate the Ferengi, replicators have not rendered gold worthless in the galaxy far, far, away. Besides war is good for business.
So many different currencies
Dorkly: Star Wars has the most fleshed out sci-fi economy.
The intensity of the in-game economy in Eve Online has increased.
Up!
that bad joke
they deserve that
I mean, why would a literal galaxy use _only_ a standardized means of exchange, when everybody has their old heritage currencies and whatnot and aren't going to want to give it up?
Still, you would think that one or two of the single largest currencies would be accepted, if at a bad rate, if only because they can trade those later to a bank or something that deals with offworld traders.
Why does Dorkly make custom sprites and mouth movement so much better than Death Battle
My favorite Star Wars currency is Lego studs
The dig at SWOR was deserved and thanfully somebody said something about them Cartel Coins. Cause honestly that ruined that game long before it deserved to be.
Or that might have been my first MMO 'pay to access' experience and I might still be irrationally salty at it and annoyed it wasn't in there. XD Opposite day!
I have a Mon Calamari Flan coin. :D It smells nice.
Can I pay with the phone?
Sh!t got dark real fast when it came to selling Ani🃏🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just like the Amount that Mr Krabs🦀 has!
hi
Out of curiosity, can I use my debit card abroad?
Ive never dove too much into the currency of the star wars universe, but I thought credits were the standard minus other planets. Hmmm, did the woolies actually have a currency?
1:22 with that attitude,yup.
Imagine having an advance galaxy that doesn't have a universal credit system.
Este mega tare❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
The galaxy used the barter system
A huge galaxy-spanning regime definitely wouldn’t have a universal currency - it’d be too much hassle to get anywhere outside of the core systems to use it.
Dorkly bring back the Videogame Agent
Is this actually true? I stopped giving a crap about this franchise ages ago.
There's 180 currencies in real life. But it's not a big deal. You just use whatever is commonly used in the country you're in.
